SAFETY: A high worker is an unsafe worker. Whether handling a lawnmower or a dust mop, a hotel worker with a substance abuse problem is both a security risk and a safety risk to your business.
SERVICE: Customer service is becoming an increasingly important reason to conduct standard drug testing in today’s competitive market. Your guests have the right to expect good service. If they don’t get it, they won’t be back – it’s that simple. Employees who are using – or abusing – drugs and alcohol can’t provide that service – and may even be rude, inattentive or disrespectful.
STUDIES: Drug testing has proven to be necessary among the population most likely to work in the hospitality industry. According to a report by The Substance Abuse Mental Health Services Administration, drug use is shockingly common among hospitality workers, as the table below shows:
